### 4/5 — Found one, buuut…

*2026-06-03*

Cool app, does what it says, but I found out today that even if the car has FSD to the original buyer, that goes away when the car is transferred to another, then there’s about a  week  ‘grace’ period after which it reverts to the subscription plan (unless it’s an early (2016-?) S or E).

Bummer, almost bought one…

**Developer response:** That is mostly not correct.
FSD Stays with the car through most ownership transfers.  There are a few exceptions.  
1: Tesla came into ownership of the car.  They will strip FSD.
2: Lux packages for S/X bought after 2/14/2026

I would suggest you reach out to the Tesla community on TMC forum, X, or even Reddit to clarify.

### 4/5 — So close to perfect!

*2026-04-22*

I’m sure this is probably going to be where imho ping to find my next car. But why don’t search FB and CL then include picture of the screen and the link to the listing. Maybe you can scrape vin also and use crowd source to fill in rest? The ability to track what listings I’ve seen and hide which ones I don’t want. If this system could search FB, CL, and OfferUp it would be perfect!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the good review.
I have reviewed FB and CL listings, but they are just to "Non" standard, and many times do not include key information.  I will review again and see if there is a way to add.

Can you reach out to me at tesla_fsd_hunter@use.startmail.com as I would like to better understand and create requirements around Hide/Seen and how I can implement this.

### 5/5 — Found my perfect car!

*2026-03-30*

Well worth the money! These cars are hard to find and this app did the hard work for me. I found an amazing deal within 24 hrs from a dealership that did not realize what they had. In fact, the sales person tried to argue with me that it wasn’t FSD - but sure enough, this app had found it, and I double verified just to make sure. So grateful I ran across this tool as it helped me find a unicorn.

### 4/5 — Fewer Deals These Days

*2026-03-30*

I used this app to find a 2024 Model Y AWD Long Range in December of 2025 with 50,000 miles for $32k including the FSD package. It was located several States away from me and it is unlikely I’d have ever have found it on my own. It has been a great purchase and I’ve been very pleased. 

Since then, Tesla has halted FSD purchases and along with the current run up of used prices in general, you are unlikely to find such a deal today as dealers have figured out what they have. 

Also, it is completely unclear to me whether the app should continue to display Enhanced Autopilot cars as I’ve seen mixed info about Tesla continuing the $2,000 upgrade to FSD.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate this review, and that’s an incredible find at $32k with FSD.

You’re absolutely right, since early 2026, dealers have caught on and pricing has tightened.

On EAP, it’s still included as an optional filter since it reduces the FSD subscription cost by about $50/month and offers added value for some buyers. But it can be easily turned off if you only want full FSD vehicles.

Thanks again for the thoughtful review!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-03-16*

I used it to find a Model Y I had been after as soon as it was posted and before photos had been uploaded by the dealer. I called and confirmed, negotiated the deal, and closed less than a week later. Really fantastic app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Best $5.99 I’ve ever spent

*2026-03-14*

I used this app to easily find a used model Y with FSD purchased. The dealer had no idea what fsd was, therefore I got the car for market value (in other words I didn’t pay extra for a lifetime fsd subscription!)

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2026-02-06, version 2.1.2*

This app just got me a Tesla with $10,000 worth of subscriptions that came with the car!

### 4/5 — EAP?

*2026-01-29, version 2.1.2*

Incredibly useful app, but the ability to find vehicles with the Enhanced Autopilot package, especially before Feb 14th, would be incredibly useful.
Eventually it’ll also be useful to find vehicles with basic Autopilot.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-01-21*

I don't want anyone else to find out about this happen until I find my Tesla model Y. It is perfectly done and works beautifully.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-01-18*

Well worth the price and the dev should charge more.  Finding FSD cars would be way too tedious without this app. I found and bought a car the same day I purchased the app. Getting FSD is what made the car purchase a steal for me.

### 5/5 — Canadian User

*2025-12-17*

Fantastic and helpful app. Saving me hours of scanning little thumbnails. Nice and simple but effective layout and interface. Works as it says it would!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2026-05-12, version 2.1.4*

Doesn't work after May 2026, do not buy it.

### 1/5 — Fraud unauthorized charge

*2026-03-16, version 2.1.3*

Please do NOT download this app. It will charge you $5.99 after you install it. The app store does not even show this app has in-store purchases.

### 1/5 — Be AWARE!

*2026-03-06*

Got a random charge on my apple wallet of 6.39 from FSD hunter

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Show CPO

*2025-12-31, version 2.1.1*

This app doesn’t connect to Teslas used inventory, the biggest source of used Teslas.

### 2/5 — No info

*2026-03-21, version 2.1.3*

I wish they at least show reliability estimates before you purchase. Turns out there’s no car in my range at all

### 2/5 — Search range

*2026-01-01, version 2.1.1*

We used to have the option of choosing states which was better. Choosing distance by ZIP Code does not change the search results. Still get states too far away. Pro tip, make things better not worse.

### 3/5 — Limited Results on West Coast

*2026-05-31*

First off, the app works great. It lets me set the parameters I’m looking for. It would be nice if it indicated whether the fsd is paid or subscription. Where the app fell short for me was the number of results. I live on the west coast specifically Southern California. There are literally thousands of Tesla’s for sale in the area. The search results net me just a handful for each model.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words about the app. The vehicles shown in FSD Hunter are filtered to listings where a paid feature is identified, such as FSD, Enhanced Autopilot, or Acceleration Boost. FSD subscription-only vehicles are not included in the index.

So while there may be thousands of Teslas for sale near you, the handful shown are the ones where a paid feature has been indicated. I’m also expanding detection beyond listing photos by using vehicle configuration data, which should help identify more qualifying vehicles over time. Over the past week, the app found an average of about 42 new (FSD or EAP) matching vehicles per day.

### 3/5 — Not accurate

*2026-01-26*

It lists vehicles saying it’s HW3 even though the photo says HW2.5. It doesn’t seem like a trusted curated list. Perhaps it’s an automated list of teslas throughout the country. I’d expect more from a paid app.

Sometimes there is no mention of FSD or photo of it from the listing, so I’m not sure how it was determined.

It’s fine. It’s just not the best it could be. 

Maybe consider making the app free and make money from listing.

Or, if you’re going to charge for the app, actually work on quality. Find real listings, show the information within app, put real contact information and links that work within the app. Focus on quality. With AI tools these days, this isn’t difficult to do.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.

The hardware version shown may not always be accurate, especially on older listings, but the software package (FSD or EAP) is the primary focus and is verified. I recently updated legacy postings and improved hardware detection, and listings going forward should be more consistent.

If an FSD photo isn’t shown, the software package was confirmed from a previous verified listing for the same VIN. I’m working on making this clearer in the app. I always recommend requesting an updated software photo from the dealer.

Community reporting was added in December to help improve accuracy, and I review reports within 12 hours and apply any needed fixes.

Charging for listings would likely shift the advantage toward dealers and increase vehicle costs, which would reduce the value of the app for buyers.

### 3/5 — Turn by State back on

*2025-11-14*

Great app, been very helpful in the car buying process and search. Please please please turn the by state filter back on. It disappeared, and was very helpful finding cars that are near me. I don’t like getting excited for a car that’s cross country.

**Developer response:** ***11/21/2025 - States have returned in 2.1.0 release.

If you set a Zip Code in the Settings screen, you can now filter by distance.  This gives you even more accurate details of how close or far a vehicle is.  (Scroll down on the home page). 

Please reach out with a developer report or on X if you need a more in depth conversation.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-08-02*

This app is excellent and worth every penny. It alerted to a 2020 Model Y with FSD. No pictures available of software screen. I was able to snatch the deal up before the dealer even cleaned the car up. I now own a 2020 MYP with FSD for life for below retail due to dealer not knowing anything about it having FSD but this app knew it was there! Thanks, keep up the excellent work. Not all heroes wear capes!

### 5/5 — It worked for us!

*2026-08-02*

My parents were looking for a Tesla model Y and was able to find one for them with permanent FSD. They are really happy. We were able to find it within a couple of days. They had to make a 3 hour drive, but it was definitely worth it.

### 5/5 — This app delivers

*2026-07-19*

Definitely worth it and and awesome tool. So easy to use and always improving. I would not have found my car with FSD without it.

### 5/5 — It found my included FSD package

*2026-07-02*

Helped me find my included FSD package in just a couple hours. Dealership was not advertising the FSD included package but FSD Hunter knew they had it. Scored a 2018 Model 3 with only 42k miles, long range battery, and FSD included package in my home state for only $23k.😎 Thanks FSD Hunter! 🫡

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2026-06-30*

I’ve been wanting to buy a Tesla with FSD for a long time. Finally got ready to buy one but couldn’t find many with FSD. I heard about FSD Hunter and bought the app. Sooooooo with it! After weeks of daily searching, I found 4 cars that met my criteria in driving distance within a few minutes of opening the app. Within 24 hours of buying the app, I was driving home in my new (to me) Tesla with FSD. Thanks sooooo much for this app! Very much worth the money.

The only improvement I’d make is to add the ability to search by VIN. I’d like to be able to put in VINs that I find on Facebook Marketplace or elsewhere and see what features codes it has.

**Developer response:** Glad you found the app and a car!

Welcome to the Tesla family.

VIN reports are coming soon and currently in testing.

### 5/5 — It works!!

*2026-06-28, version 2.1.19*

I had it a week before finding the perfect FSD included car.  Worth every penny!!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-25*

This app is worth the purchase price. I was able to find a Model 3 with FSD from Carvana and it would’ve taken forever to track down manually. Carvana doesn’t make it easy to filter for FSD-included listings, so without this app I would’ve had to click into dozens of listings one by one just to check. FSD Hunter did that legwork for me and pointed me straight to cars that actually had it included, which saved me a ton of time and probably got me a better deal since I wasn’t settling for whatever showed up first. Definitely recommend if you’re hunting for a Tesla with FSD already baked in.

### 5/5 — Found my car!

*2026-06-23, version 2.1.16*

Just found the perfect plaid with FSD for life for a great price because of you and this app. Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Got the exact car I wanted. Great app.

*2026-05-22*

Smooth and seamless design, and works exactly as advertised. No frills. Especially the option to set alerts for when a car with the desired characteristics pops up on the market is invaluable. I used it to find my Model Y just hours after it was posted and bought it online. Five stars. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-04-16, version 2.1.4*

Provides the ability to quickly find vehicles with desired characteristics. Real cars that are available
